Summer is a season full of sunshine and fresh air, but it’s also time where some of the most dangerous storms can sneak up on you out of nowhere! Storms always have a level of danger to them, but when you’re stuck out in a downpour while on the road, the danger level always increases! It’s important to know how to react when a storm hits while you’re behind the wheel, so checkout the tips below to help you stay safe.

• Turn on your radio so you can listen for up-to-the-minute weather alerts.
• Turn on your low beams, and drive slowly.
• Allow extra space between you and the car in front of you. Braking on wet roadways can be difficult.
• Never drive through standing water.
• During heavy storms, visibility can be greatly reduced. Pull to the side of the road and turn on your emergency flashers until the rain subsides.
• Be on the lookout for trees that could fall.
• Steer clear of downed power lines.
• If traffic lights are out, treat intersections as four-way stops.
